To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if he will publish the provisional 2006 productivity data for the tourism and leisure industry, referred to in his Department's Autumn Performance Report 2007. (184020)

Productivity data for the tourism and leisure industry is estimated from the Annual Business Inquiry (ABI), run by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). As referred to in the DCMS Autumn Performance Report 2007, the provisional ABI data for 2006 were released by the ONS in December 2007.

An update of the tourism and leisure industry productivity target to incorporate this data will be published in the Department's Annual Report—scheduled for release by 19 May 2008.

As in previous years, the Autumn Performance Report will include the final 2006 productivity data following the release of the validated ABI results in June 2008.
